Jesus is of Mixed blood descent. Jew is one of them.

NT2 SG

brother u ri right.
Yeshua is a Jew and since young He was brought up in the ways of Yaweh.

He was circumcised on the 8th day after birth and taught the Torah.

monoslayer SG

Jesus is a Jew, and Christianity actually started off as an offshoot of Judaism.

NT2 SG

Yes. Boy Jesus went to the Jewish temple when he was 12 to celebrate a Jewish Feast and was left behind by His parents.

Later His parents came back and found Him debating the Law with the Rabbi.

Judaism is consistent with Christianity. The only thing that Judaism does not suscribe to until now is that Jesus (Yeshua) being the Anointed One, Messiah promised since the Old Testament days.

Icemoon SG

Judaism is not consistent with Christianity. Jews deny the Trinity.

breytonhartge SG

isn't that what he said?

Icemoon SG

that was not what he said. The Messiah and Godhead are different issues altogether.

breytonhartge SG

the jews do not believe in the trinity and rightly so. Because does it not say the Lord our God is ONE? not three? If you get where I am coming from? The connotation of the trinity is like having 3 gods... but actually the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three aspects of God. More like water would be a better example... we have gas, liquid and solid... all different states but the same element.. .likewise with Yahweh...

breytonhartge SG

and what are the other parts to Yeshua?

NT2 SG

bro the illustration of the Trinity using water is a bit risky....

liquid, solid and gases states of water do not exist at the same time except for one point in phase equilibrium. rather the 3 distinct Persons co-exists but ONE God.

If jesus and god r one, then a lot of comments jesus made become funny since he claims he is son of god when he is actually god, god tell him to die and he grieves and he talk to himself when he is baptised etc

Icemoon SG

you can say what you want .. but the fact that Jesus acted and thought separate from God does not help at all. Mr. Green

breytonhartge SG

He did? Confused

breytonhartge SG

bro... that is also risky... hence you see why the problem with the idea of the trinity... actually there is a temperature where all 3 states of water can exist together if I remember my physics... Mr. Green

SocialOutcast SG

Yes there is...

But you using the faulty analogy of water to show that Trinity is therefore faulty? Backwards reasoning leh....

SocialOutcast SG

You have no idea you are speaking of one of the most difficult theology of Christianity, do you? Do not dismiss it like primary school maths.

1. Son of God is the second godhead of the Trinity, and divine. No contradiction, when Jesus said he is the Son of God.

2. 'God tell him to die'? Sounds very wrong. Jesus is divine himself. His will is according to the Father's. No contradiction.

3. 'He talk to himself'? Sounds very wrong again. He was communicating to the Father in heaven.

Yet throughout all these, there remains only ONE God. I know my explantions do not suffice, but if you had bothered to know the truth, you would not have dismissed it so quickly.

SocialOutcast SG

Yes, but I would say he fulfils Judaism instead of simply follow it.

Icemoon SG

1. There are other instances where Son or Sons of God are used to describe something else. Please acknowledge that.

2. His will is according to the Father's? Please acknowledge that Jesus prayed for the cup to be removed from him.

3. He also said no one knows when the End will come except His Father in heaven.
